Now it's finally time to review these products from Mádara I've tested in recent weeks. Mádara is one of the first natural brands I came in contact with when I started replacing my conventional beauty products around 2012, and I especially remember their haircare products and tinted moisturizer. Now there is much more in their range and I really think the design itself got a boost, we like that! Make yourself a cup of tea and sit comfortably, and then we start going through them all!

Let's start with this little trio.Exfoliating Oil-to-Milk Scrub* is just like it sounds a facial scrub that has a oily formula, but which in contact with water becomes milky. So it's a mechanical peeling containing wax beads, castor oil, sunflower oil and beeswax among others. It smells DIVINE of candy and I really like the oil to milk-effect, however, is very "scratchy" so I use it about every two weeks. The skin is given new life and luster - will I buy it again? Yes!

Then we have the Ultra Purifying Mud Mask* which is a deep cleansing clay mask that will tighten pores and leave skin dull and clean. Includes sapropel (formed in the bottom of freshwater lakes), lavender water and a mixture of clays and algae. I have combination skin and has used it on the t-zone, where my pores like to be seen and to be clogged. And HOLY MOLY what effect, when I rinse off the mask my pores are more constricted and clean. The mask is very strong and somewhat difficult to wash off, but I can live with that. Not for those with sensitive skin. Buying again? Absolutely!

Last up we have Instant Moisture + Radiance Hydra Mask* that will act as an intensive treatment for dry, stressed skin. Includes jojoba oil, rose water, shea butter and sea buckthorn extract - a very nice combo. It's good and provides some hydration, but I expected va va voom-hydration considering the product name. Nothing for me, maybe it works better on more normal to oily skin.

Multi Action Micellar Water* is just what it sounds like, a micellar water that includes aloe vera, hyaluronic acid and peony. I have recently discovered micellar waters (yes, I know, don't judge me) and this particular micellar water cleans good but I would have liked a more moisturizing effect too. I need more moisture - I think it's better suited for normal to oily skin.

Superseed Soothing Hydration Organic Facial Oil* is a facial oil for dry skin and contains nourishing ingredients like avocado oil, jojoba oil, evening primrose oil, rosehip seed oil, sea buckthorn extract, oat oil, broccoli seed oil and cranberry oil - yes, a really lovely cocktail. On me the oil absorbs rapidly but still "remains" in the skin if you know what I mean, I think it is moisturizing and gives a nice glow. In addition, it smells faintly of candy - I like this, a perfect oil for day time!

SOS Hydra Recharge Cream* should work on all skin types and act as an intensive moisturizing face cream that can be applied when feeling dry and serve as a cream from the weather if I understand correctly. Includes jojoba oil, peony, hyaluronic acid and flaxseed. But ... I don't think it's so crazy moisturizing? The cream is absorbed fairly quickly but in dry areas (like my forehead) I need absolutely something more moisturizing and protective than this cream. Nope, doesn't live up to it's name on my skin.

Last up we have SOS Hydra Intensive Repair Serum* to calm stressed skin and moisturize. Contains sunflower oil, rose water, hyaluronic acid and extract of sea buckthorn, nettle, flax seed and peony. The serum smells lightly floral and sinks quickly into the skin and moisturizes well, I think I even get some extra glow which is always a plus in my book - I really like this serum!

My favorites are in other words the scrub, detox mask, the facial oil and the serum. Have you tried anything from Mádara? What did you think? ♥
